The growing demand for customer-response, made-to-order manufacturing and satisfactory delivery are stimulating the importance of commercial fleet management problem. Moreover, the rapid transformation to the customer-oriented multi-frequency, relatively small fleet, such as home delivery and Perishable goods, requiring prompt delivery and advanced real-time operation of vehicle fleets. In this paper we consider the vehicle routing problem(VRP) to minimize delivery completion time which is equal to the time that last customer wait for the vehicle in fleet operation. The mathematical formulation is different from those for the classical VRP which is minimizing cost/distance/time by running vehicles in manager's point of view. The key aspect of this model is not considering the return time from the last customer to depot in every vehicle path. Thereby, the vehicle dispatcher can afford to dynamically respond to customer demand and vehicle availability. The customer's position concerned with minimizing waiting time that may be applied for the delivery of product required freshness or delivery time. Extensive experiments are carried out to compare the performance of minimizing delivery completion time by using the ILOG Solver which has the advantage of solving quickly an interim solution very near an optimal solution. The experimental results show that the suggested model can easily find near optimal solution in a reasonable computational time under the various combination of customers and vehicles.

In this study we examined the greenhouse worker's work load to test the efficiency of the developed vehicles (hand operated vehicle (HV), simple battery-powered autonomous vehicle (AV)). The subject of this study were healthy adult females who had experience in growing crops. We measured workers' heart rate, blood Pressure. rectal temperature, mean skin temperature, oxygen consumption and blood lactate level as a physiological index of work load. The results of this study are as follows : The test group using experimental vehicle showed the lower heart rate (mean$\pm$S.D. for HV, AV respectively 74$\pm$5, 75$\pm$3 beats/min, p＜0.01) than the control group (84$\pm$8beat/min) not using experimental vehicle and the lower systolic blood Pressure (HV, AV respectively 109$\pm$8, 109$\pm$9 mmHg, p＜0.01) than the control group (121$\pm$11 mmHg), and lower rectal temperature(HV, AV respectively 37.0$\pm$0.1, 36.8$\pm$0.2$^{\circ}C$, p＜0.01) than the control group (37.0$\pm$0.2$^{\circ}C$), and the less oxygen consumption (HV, AV respectively 2.13$\pm$0.09, 1.66$\pm$0.52$m\ell$/kg/min, p＜0.01) than the control group(2.43$\pm$0.12$m\ell$/kg/min), and the lower blood lactate level (HV, AV respectively 2.03$\pm$1.00, 1.66$\pm$0.52mmol, p＜0.01) than the control group (2.43$\pm$0.12mmol). Judging from these results, these experimental vehicles for greenhouse workers can be confirmed as a useful tool. It is suggested that these vehicles would alleviate the peasant's syndrome including muscle fatigue and musculoskeletal disease usually caused by working in an uncomfortable posture.

Recently, there have been frequent incidents of talent accidents caused by youth driving without a license. Driving without a license is becoming a hotbed of curiosity and challenge for some young people, and there is a limit to managing smart keys at home to prevent this. Therefore, in this paper, using the facial recognition algorithm, the face of the driver sitting in the driver's seat is compared with the information stored in advance, and the system is designed to control the engine by determining that it is a registered driver. If the registered driver authentication is successful, the matching accuracy and Unlock message are output to the LCD connected to the Raspberry Pi.

This paper analyzes the effect of voltage sag on distribution systems due to the connection of Electric Vehicles (EVs). In order to study the impact of the voltage sag on the power system, two scenarios have been selected in this paper. The distribution system and EVs are modeled using the Electro Magnetic Transients Program (EMTP). The numbers of EVs are predicted based on the number of vehicles in distribution system of Seoul. In addition, the number of EVs is set up using real-time traffic in Seoul to simulate Scenario I and II. The simulation results show that voltage sag can occur if the distribution system has more than 30% of the total number of vehicles.

A novel smart metering technique capable of anomaly detection was proposed for real-time home power management system. Smart meter data generated in real-time were obtained from 900 households of single apartments. To detect outliers and missing values in smart meter data, a deep learning model, the autoencoder, consisting of a graph convolutional network and bidirectional long short-term memory network, was applied to the smart metering technique. Power management based on the smart metering technique was executed by multi-objective optimization in the presence of a battery storage system and an electric vehicle. The results of the power management employing the proposed smart metering technique indicate a reduction in electricity cost and amount of power supplied by the grid compared to the results of power management without anomaly detection.

After the occurrence of several passenger ship accidents in Korea, various systems are being developed for passenger ship safety management. A total of 162 passenger ships operate along the coast of Korea, of which 105 (65 %) are car-ferries with open vehicle decks. The car-ferry has a navigation pattern that passes through 2 to 4 islands. Safety inspections at the departure point(home port) are carried out by the crew, the operation supervisor of the operation management office, and the maritime safety supervisor. In some cases, self-inspections are carried out for safety inspections at layovers. As with any system, there are institutional and practical limitations. To this end, this study was conducted to suggest a method of detecting a vehicle using image processing and linking it to the calculations for ship stability. For vehicle detection, a method using a difference image and one using machine learning were used. However, a limitation was observed in these methods that the vehicle could not be identified due to strong background lighting from the pier and the ship in the cases where the camera was backlit such as during sunset or at night. It appears necessary to secure sufficient image data and upgrade the program for stable image processing.

As the interest on the air pollution is gradually risen up at home and abroad, their vehicle emission regulations have been reinforcing by steps. PM regulation was also reinforced 4times for the last 13years and has been applied to SI vehicles after EURO 5. Additionally, knowing that small particles of PM can easily penetrate deep into lungs PM number was added on the regulation from EURO5+ and is applied to CI vehicles. Also, PN regulation is going to be applied to SI vehicles. But, because the regulation is appled to only a general test mode of each countries that is performed at $25{\pm}5^{\circ}C$, it is unclear whether the regulation can work on the other ambient temperature conditions or not. In this paper, to know that exhaust emission characteristics at the special conditions CI vehicles(CRDi w, w/o DPF) were tested using 5-cycle mode, NEDC mode at 5-ambient temperatures (35, 25, 0, -7 and -15) and the exhaust emission test results were discussed. The results show that the vehicle with DPF emits much low PM(and PM number) on all of the test mode. However, NOx of the other mode was emitted higher than regulation mode. Also. NOx was sharply increased according to decreasing Ambient Temperature.

Front-side members are structures with the greatest energy absorbing capability in a front-end collision of vehicles. This paper was performed to analyze initial collapse characteristics of spot welded hat and double hat-shaped section members, which are basic shape of side members, on the shift of flange weld pitches. The impact collapse tests were carried out by using home-made vertical air compression impact testing machine, and impact velocity of hat-shaped section members is 4.17m/sec and that of double hat-shaped section members is 6.54m/sec. In impact collapse tests, the collapsed length of hat-shaped section members was about 45mm and that of double hat-shaped section members was about 50mm. In consideration of these condition, axial static collapse tests(0.00017m/sec) of hat and double hat-shaped section members were carried out by using UTM which was limited displacement, about 50mm. As the experimental results, to obtain the best initial collapse characteristics, it is important that stiffness of vehicle members increases as section shapes change and the progressively folding mode induces by flange welding pitch.
